FrauBlucher, back in February wrote:UPCOMING RELEASES:
5. The Albatros serial The House of Mystery (1923), directed by Alexandre Volkoff, and starring Julien Vilandrit (Ivan Mosjoukine). A Flicker Allery/Blackhawks Films presentation. DVD edition.

Decided to ask about this one, as it appears to have been repeatedly delayed. Josh from Flicker Alley says

We do still have HOUSE OF MYSTERY on deck. Pre-production is taking a little longer than expected, but we hope to have it out by mid-2015.

Heck, I'd pay for CD-Rs with MKV files of this one, so I'm pretty pleased with the confirmation.

Kean is incredible, so, yes, bring on the Volkoff!

RobertB wrote:Just came back from a screening of Gance´s j'accuse. It was a 2K scan from Lobster and Flicker Alley based on the 2008 restoration. English intertitles, unless where they are artistic. This seems ready for a blu-ray release. The old dvd looks like it's out of print. How many more silent-film gems does Flicker have that they can release without warning?

This would be more appropriate on the (non-existent) Lobster Films thread, but they have already a Blu-ray/DVD combo of J'Accuse up for order on their site.

Does Olive still own the rights to the 1938 remake of "J'Accuse"?

DVDBeaver on "Cinerama Seven Wonders Of The World

So Flicker Alley decided to not put lossless audio on this title, and they still want $10 more than the previous Cinerama releases?

Posted: **Sun Nov 16, 2014 2:05 am**

I suspect the price increase is due to the DVD part of the combo going from 1 Disc to 2 Discs.

Posted: **Sun Nov 16, 2014 3:26 pm**

$10 from changing flipper discs to 2 singles? Not justified...

If you're in the New York area, it's not too late to get tickets for our 3-D FUNHOUSE presentation at MoMA. It's part of the 12th International Festival of Preservation.

You'll be seeing a 15 minute sneak preview of 3-D RARITIES, due for release on blu-ray by Flicker Alley in June 2015.

Don't miss it!

^^ thanks will likely pick up the cinerama titles.
Would be nice if they threw in shipping as well...

Does anybody has their Discount Code yet ? I don't want to suscribe to their newsletter / Twitter / Whatever just for this, but clearly, I won't pass on the Chaplin (and most likely the Matt Sennett) set at this price.

Also, does anybody knows if FA shop is Customs friendly ? Because it remains expensive stuff to import...

Good time for everyone to pick up Henri-Georges Clouzot's Inferno...

Today's Flicker Alley newsletter hints at an upcoming Chaplin Essanay collection. Fingers crossed that it comes with a nice, thick link to a pdf file!

Posted: **Tue Jan 20, 2015 8:09 pm**

This sounds tantalizing:

Flicker Alley Newsletter wrote:The upcoming Blu-ray/DVD collection MASTERWORKS OF AMERICAN AVANT-GARDE EXPERIMENTAL FILM 1920-1970 gathers 30 films made by vanguard artists that defined new arenas of cinematic engagement. The official release date for the collection will be announced soon.

Meshes of the Afternoon will be one of the films included.

Posted: **Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:14 pm**

Any other films known to be on there? An Andelusian Dog would have to be one of them, no?

Posted: **Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:18 pm**

Probably no since the title suggests this is American cinema only. Not European.

Posted: **Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:24 pm**

Sometimes you miss the obvious staring right at ya....

Posted: **Tue Jan 20, 2015 10:46 pm**

That was announced as coming soon almost a year ago, so it's a relief to know it's still in the works.

Posted: **Fri Jan 30, 2015 7:04 pm**

HOUSE OF MYSTERY coming 31/03/2015. At 6 1/2 hours long it's being spread over 3 DVDs and has a score by Neil Brand. I've pre-ordered already. \:D/

The MOD collection has gone live. The notes are available free of charge if you highlight MOD at the top of the screen and then click Critical Essays.

Is JOAN THE WOMAN available in a good edition anywhere else?

I have to admit to also being tempted by that Humphrey Jennings set. As superb as I'm sure the BFI's releases are, I'm never going to buy 3 blu-rays of the stuff, so one mid-priced release of his major work (including the longer FIRE cut) is... more up my alley.

Posted: **Fri Mar 20, 2015 1:41 am**

The prices are not as bad as I expected, but they're a complete slap in the face to the people who paid nearly double for them when supporting the campaign! Why is it that Arrow are the only label who seem to realise you're supposed to reward people for putting their money up front, not rip them off?!

Who knows what the image quality is like on these discs though? They surely can't be from materials as good as what the BFI used. In fact, my impression is that these discs are using the same old masters that David Shepard prepared for the Image DVDs. In the case of the Humphrey Jennings films, that makes them at least 13 years old. So there is a likelihood that these discs are going to look very outdated by today's standards. The BFIs, for the record, look invariably spectacular.

I've seen everything on the first two volumes so far and wouldn't say there's a single film not worth seeing. I also see no indication that the longer cut of Fire's Were Started is even included on the FA disc, so I'm not sure I understand your comment, but rest assured both cuts of the film are included in the BFI set (and Volume 2 includes The Silent Village, which by itself is worth the price of admission, whilst it does not appear on the FA disc). And whilst you'll obviously pay more for all three volumes from the BFI, they're so cheap now that you're hardly going to feel you've wasted your money!

Posted: **Fri Mar 20, 2015 1:57 am**

So these are where some of those Image discs are. I'll definitely get The Marriage Circle eventually, as I don't expect it to be available any better anywhere else.

Posted: **Fri Mar 20, 2015 2:08 am**

I think that was the whole point of this endeavor, to essentially make many of those Image discs available again. Unfortunately that's opposed to actually remastering the films and presenting them in the sort of quality expected in 2015 (though I would love to be incorrect on this and find that David Shepard has carried out new transfers for all of these, but I'm not holding my breath!).
